Key Features
- 18-position dual-row terminal strip on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for compact high-density signal routing
- Tiger Eye dual-beam contact technology ensures reliable low-insertion-force mating over thousands of cycles
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated SMT pick-and-place assembly for high-volume production
Applications
The TFC-109-02-L-D-A-K-TR serves high-density board-to-board and cable-to-board applications in embedded systems and instrumentation, where 18 signal lines must be routed through a narrow 1.27 mm pitch footprint. Its tape-and-reel packaging and Tiger Eye contact technology make it a reliable choice for automated production lines manufacturing IoT gateways, medical monitoring equipment, and compact data-acquisition modules.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TFC-109-02-L-D-A-K-TR provide, and what pitch does it use for dense signal routing?
The TFC-109-02-L-D-A-K-TR offers 18 positions in a dual-row layout on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, allowing 9 signals per row in a minimal board footprint. This tight pitch is approximately half the spacing of a standard 2.54 mm connector, freeing significant PCB area in compact embedded and instrumentation designs.
What advantage does the Tiger Eye contact design give the TFC-109-02-L-D-A-K-TR over conventional single-beam connectors?
Tiger Eye contacts use a dual-beam geometry that provides 2 independent electrical contact points per pin, reducing the risk of intermittent connections caused by contamination or slight misalignment. For the 18-position TFC-109-02-L-D-A-K-TR, this translates to lower contact resistance and higher reliability across at least 50 mating cycles in demanding environments.
Does the tape-and-reel suffix TR on TFC-109-02-L-D-A-K-TR indicate compatibility with automated pick-and-place assembly?
Yes, the TR suffix confirms the TFC-109-02-L-D-A-K-TR is packaged on standard tape-and-reel, typically supplied in quantities of 1000 or more units per reel. This packaging is fully compatible with SMT automated pick-and-place equipment, making it cost-effective for high-volume production runs in consumer electronics and industrial control product lines.
